I have setup a domain in my office using Windows 2003. We have even setup POP3 and SMTP for emails within the domain. This is working fine. We are planning to use our Internal SharePoint website externally (on Internet).

Now, we want users to be able to send and receive emails from / to external email accounts (like Yahoo, hotmail etc). What all do I need to do for this?

NOTE: We are NOT using Exchange, we are using only POP3 and SMTP services provided by Windows 2003.

1. Do I need to purchase a domain name with the same name as of my Internal Domain?
2. Do I need to purchase Webspace as well?
3. I am not sure how to use and configure MX Records? Do we need to create an MX Record at our end or on the ISP end?
4. Do I need to purchase a plan for emails as well?

I am really sorry. I know that my questions might be really stupid but this the first time I am setting up emails for external use.

]]>Hello, we have an Exchange 2007 server in house that was hosting our email. We have a web guy that setup our domain and site to be hosted through GoDaddy, and now we need to point the email back to our Exchange server. I’m assuming this is just a matter of changing the MX records on GoDaddy to point to our Exchange server, but (Exchange Newbie Question) I have no idea how to find what those MX records for our Exchange server are so I can plug them into the GoDaddy DNS Manager. Am I going about this the right way? And if so, how can I find the MX records for my Exchange server?

]]>I have a simple AD setup w/ 2003 running DHCP and DNS. I have another server on the same network that has a static IP address. The name of the server is meaningful to our IT people but not so much to our uses. I am trying to add an alias entry to DNS so users can navigate the shares using a simple name like \\file instead of the long confusing computer name.

I am able to browse to the machine using \\computerName and \\ipAddress. However if I add either an ARecord or CRecord (tried both), I am able to ping and get a correct ip address, but if i try browsing \\newAliasName it cannot find the target. I suspect that I am not grasping what is going on here.

Is there a way to create an alternate name in DNS to point to the same server?

]]>Here is my problem. I have set up an exchange server (2003) to eventually take responsability for all domain email but at the moment it opperates in as a “go between”
The previous people responsable had set up a “catch all” mailbox on one of their domains and also use a hosted exchange account for 2 of the members.
I have added a pop3 connector to download the email from the catchall and forward it to the exchange server and this is working ok. I have set up a smtp relay service so the server can send without going through the isp mail servers and that works ok.
Now the problem is if I change the MX record on the domain to point to the public address of our exchange server the hosted accounts will no longer function – although eventually this will be implemented. No when they send email the “from field” and reply address must be for that domain so I have set the primary email address as that domain name so all replys are then sent to the catchall mail box on the isp. The problem being is trying to send mail to the 2 users that have the hosted account “off site” as the exchange server will just trigger a NDR as it does have any details of those address for the domain. I cannot connect the 2 users to the internal exchange as only one exchange server is allowed. If I change the default domain email address to say “local” inseat of “com” for the internal users then in theory exchange will send all “com” messeges out. Is there a way to set the “from or reply to” headers or info in outbound mail to the “com” address? that way they can send email as normal and also the external users will also recieve email from the internal users. All email will eventually be handled by the exchange server but as they are linked to about 20 domains and have e-commerce on 3 domains it will take time to migrate the account and I need to enable external users to recieve the email sent by the internal users.
